The best games of E3 2017 - From Super Mario to Spider-man

One of Ubisoft’s surprise reveals at its boisterous conference, Starlink has you exploring a solar system using ships summoned into the game via physical models that you attach to your controller. Whether or not Ubisoft can breathe new life into the ‘toys-to-life’ genre remains to be seen, but they certainly seem to be going the right way about it. The models are smart and customisable, allowing you to snap on different parts (wings, wepaons etc.) to a base ship to make your own builds with their own stats. And most importantly, the game part looks interesting in and of itself. You can do battle in space, or skim along a planet’s vast surface to explore in a ship built to look like a tank. And the whole thing is seamless, allowing you to blast into space from the surface to search the seven-planet strong system. ‘No Man’s Skylanders’ was a shorthand you would hear around the showfloor, and it’s one that sticks for all the right reasons.
